Title:The Sierra Lakes Inventory Project: non-native fish and community composition of lakes and ponds in the Sierra Nevada, California
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:

The Sierra Lakes Inventory Project (SLIP) was a research endeavor that ran from 1995-2002 and has supported research and management of Sierra Nevada aquatic ecosystems and their terrestrial interfaces. We described the physical characteristics of and surveyed aquatic communities for > 8,000 lentic water bodies in the southern Sierra Nevada, including lakes, ponds, marshes, and meadows. We also created digital map layers for these water bodies when such layers did not exist. The original objective of SLIP was to describe impacts of non-native fish on lake communities, but SLIP data has subsequently enabled study of additional ecological issues, including regional amphibian declines and their impacts on communities, and impacts of non-native fish on terrestrial species. In addition, these data are being used to develop fish removal efforts to restore aquatic ecosystems and recover endangered amphibians. The SLIP data is stored in a relational database that collectively describes water bodies (e.g., depth, elevation, location), surveys (conditions, effort), and communities (including approximately 170 fish, amphibian, reptile, benthic macroinvertebrate, and zooplankton taxa).

Methods and Protocols

These methods, instrumentation and/or protocols apply to all data in this dataset:

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package
Description:

Specific spatial information has been omitted from this dataset due to management restrictions and location of endangered species. This sensitive information is available upon request, but not included in this package.

See the attached document for specific methods: “SNARL_SLIP_Protocol.doc”. This document thoroughly describes all data collection steps. Site selection criteria can also be found in the attached sampling protocol.

To calculate the density of each zooplankton taxon (# per liter), utilize this formula:

[ (sum of counts for taxon across all subsamples) / (number of subsamples) ] /

[ (sample_vol) / { (zoo_tow_depth) * (zoo_tow_number) * 33.02 } ]

Description:SLIP includes data collected in the southern Sierra Nevada ecoregion in California, USA. This includes the federal jurisdictions of Yosemite National Park, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, Inyo National Forest, and Sierra National Forest. These lakes and ponds are located across a broad spatial and elevational gradient (1000 – 4000 m). They are located in several major drainage basins: Tuolumne, Merced, San Joaquin, Kings, Kern, and Owens.
